Sumi-e Painting Scroll Project

Sumi-e Painting Scroll Project

Tell me and I will forget;Show me and I may remember;Involve me and I will understand.-Confucius (450 BCE)

After LOTS of practice with Sumi-e techniques about 3-4 classes (see Sumi-e Lesson 1 and Lesson 2), students began their final project-a Sumi-e Painting Scroll. Because of working with India ink, this lesson lends itself well to reviewing or learning about values & practicing making different values with our “dirty water”. This lesson can successfully be done with upper elementary through High School Art (I’ve done it with 4th-12th grades). Add an Artist Seal or Chop.

Create Art with ME – Michelle East

Hi! Welcome to Create Art with ME. My name is Michelle East and I have the privilege of wearing many hats: Wife, Mother, Artist, Art Teacher. The foundation of all these hats is my Faith in Christ. I teach 5th grade art through AP Advanced High School Art at a private Christian School in Cedar Park, Texas. The projects on this site are successful art lessons that I have taught with my classes and I hope that you will be inspired to create art with your own children or students too! Enjoy the whole process of creating, do not just be focused on the end product! If you want to use these lessons on your site or curriculum, please link back to this blog!
